JUST IN: FG Sets To Lifted Ban On Twitter Under This Condition
The Nigerian government has given a condition to lift its indefinite suspension of Twitter in Nigeria.
Foreign affairs minister, Geoffrey Onyeama, said at a meeting with some envoys that Twitter’s operations in Nigeria will be restored only if the platform can be used “responsibly.”
Asked when the ban will be lifted, Onyeama said there is no definite timeline for that, but added: “The condition would be responsible use of the social media and that really has to be it,” according to The Cable.
“We are not saying that Twitter is threatening the country or any such thing; why we have taken this measure is to stop them to be used as platforms for destabilisation and facilitation of criminality or encouragement of criminalities,” he said.

The government had earlier invited the envoys of the EU, US, UK, and others following their criticism of the Twitter ban.
